We're kind of curious whether this really happened or whether it's just from some dream reverie brought on by too much dance practice. But when asked this evening whether he was surprised by recent town hall antics Tom DeLay told Chris Matthews that at one of his town halls in the 1980s protestors "brought quadriplegics in on gurneys and dumped them on the floor in front of my podium."

That sounds pretty out there.

We've done a little research and we cannot find any press reports about such a bizarre and somewhat hard to credit event. And DeLay's office has not responded to requests for comment.

Anybody help us on this one?
